Remote for MC19 for MAC?

<< < (2/3) > >>

JIMV:
No smart remarks, simple truth...I tried repeatedly to get it to work on my system and never, ever got the PC to come on and play using the remote. At the moment, I simply want a remote that will work on an iMac using MC19...The software works great...and I mean a remote, like a TV remote...You know, select the source (MC19. You Tube, Pandora) then the file and lastly, play the file...

JohnT:
There's JRemote for iPad and iPhone.  There's Apple IR remote for stop/play/volume/mute/next/previous/ff/rew

The Fact that TheaterView is not available on MAC makes it almost impossible to control it with a IR Remote on MAC. I tried a lot of different settings with RemoteBuddy but no luck, because i can not change between the different views (Navigation on the left, lets say albums or Artists on main view and songs on the bottom).  So TheaterView would be great!

The only Workaround for me as long as it does not work: JRemote - it does a great Job on all iPads and iPhones.

I have a headless mini player. I have other macs (and pcs, thanks(?) to my wife) scattered about the house. I currently access the mini over my home network via screen sharing, which is somewhat slow, painful, and clunky. Is there an application that I can run on one mac to control MC19 on another over my home network? I don't want to serve the media to the second machine - my sound systems are connected to the headless mini. But I do want to select music etc from the second mac.

Couple of options, you could try Logmein (free), Splastop ( not sure if still free ), or if you just wished to control JRMC19 and not other facets of the Mac Mini, JRemote if you have an iPad or iPhone. Out of curiosity, what model Mac Mini do you have an how much RAM does it have and what version of the operating system is on it? There were issues with headless Mac Minis and screen sharing that are to have been fixed in the latest build of Mavericks.

Oftimes people built a simple device such as this which would enable the GPU on the Mac Mini when a display was not physically connected to it. Very cheap to make as all you need to buy is one resister at a shop such as Radio Shack.

Also in regards to your home network, is performance reasonable good and the sluggishness is only related to screen sharing and the Mac Mini?
